No shruti....Psyllium husk should not be taken with Warfarin at all. DO NOT.As, this may increase the risk of blood clotting, and give rise to a fatal condition. So avoid taking this herb with Warfarin.

Hardik Nutrilite powder and Psyllium Husk, both ensures the health of digestive system. Both have their own benefits. You need to drink lots of water when you consume any of these fibers. The usage depends on the condition to be cured. Nutrilite is a supplement whereas Psyllium is a natural fiber. choice is yours.

Hi I underwent gastric bypass and since then passing stool is a very slow process as I already used to suffer from chronic constipation. I take softovac (to soften the stool) followed by triphala ras (laxative properties) it helped but the stool came slowly and in brief intervals. So someone suggested to add psyllium husk after triphala to help push it out. But someone said it is very BAD FOR MALE SEX DRIVE and also reduces the affect of other medicines and food supplements/vitamins that I take. Is it true? I am not able to gain some weight as I should have till now? Is it due to this? Please help

The ingredienst of Softovac are-- Psyllium Husk. Senna. Haritaki. Licorice. Cassia Fistula. It already has Psyllium Husk in it, you do not need to take it in addition. And, no psyllium husk does not reduce sex drive, in fact, it is used to increase it and is used in combination of other herbs to increase the libido.
